NEW DAY Trial Summary

This trial is testing whether or not a new treatment for DME is better than the standard treatment. It will enroll patients who have not had any DME treatments for the past 12 months, and compare the new treatment to the standard treatment.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with early Diabetic Macular Edema (DME) confirmed by SD-OCT and specific vision acuity scores. It's not for those with advanced diabetic eye disease, other causes of macular edema, recent certain eye treatments, or uncontrolled glaucoma.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study compares two DME treatments: an ILUVIEN implant followed by as-needed aflibercept injections versus a series of aflibercept injections alone. The goal is to see if ILUVIEN can be an effective initial treatment.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include increased eye pressure which could lead to glaucoma, cataract formation, and potential complications related to the injection procedure such as infection or retinal detachment.
